This is related to this topic here: How to check if any of the buttons are pressed in a GUI

(Please click on the link)

On there he said he resolved the issue, but never said how. I’m trying to make a dialogue with options and I don’t want to take up many lines for an unspecified amount of options, which are in a for loop.

Thank you in advance :slight_smile:

PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP! (UNSOLVED) Please tell me how one of multiple choices are clicked? aSDnASDbsv,jh
(UNSOLVED) Having Trouble Getting One of Multiple Buttons Clicked

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
   print("clicked")
end)

Should work. Please note that MouseButton1Click does not return a parameter. Put this script inside of the UI’s textbutton.

But there are multiple buttons.

Make variables for them all and seperate functions or loop all of the variables and when you click them, perform the action if they are supposed to perform the same action.

Instead of multiple variables, I have a table/array containing them.

Find the button thru table.find() or a loop from the table then. Oh, wait. Just loop the table and when the buttons are clicked perform the function if you want to perform the same function. (only if u want all buttons doing the same)

And if they’re aren’t the same? Like, you have the options goodbye and continue speaking?

Then perform additional checks for example a name, etc and perform a seperate function.

Like this?

local optionClicked

for _, v in pairs(options) do
      v.MouseButton1Up:Wait()

      optionClicked = v

      break
end

if optionClicked:FindFirstChild('ContinueDialogue') then
      -- Continue dialogue
end

Try it, not entirely sure as I don’t know your table system. Print like a simple yes on the “stuff”

Oof, It doesn’t work. At least not the way I want it to.

#12

Hmm, what is the issue, any errors? Actually I have an idea:

  • you make a loop of all the buttons in the frame
  • once it is checked, perform checks to the name and if it matches perform a function() (just so it doesnt get messy)

Could work.

First few tries I had errors. I fixed them, but now it only does the function with only one button.

local optionClicked
local options = script.Parent:GetChildren()

while wait() do
	for _, v in pairs(options) do
		if v ~= script then
			v.MouseButton1Up:Wait()
			
			print('YES')
		
			optionClicked = v
			
			break
		end
		
		break
	end
end	

if optionClicked:FindFirstChild('ContinueDialogue') then
	print("This doesn't print :(")
end

OH WAIT

Ok nvm

Check my idea above, do you have Discord? I can help you with this, I know what you are want from the script. Did you try that script with other buttons too?

#15

Isn’t that basically my code?

Just filling in this reply – don’t pay attention to this

#16

Nope.

for _,part in pairs(script.Parent.Frame:GetChildren()) do
	if part:IsA('TextButton') then
		part.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
			--perform checks etc and then call their functions
		end)
	end
end
